Bet Builder Tip For England Women vs Italy Women

Tuesday evening sees England Women take on Italy Women in Geneva, with a place in the Women’s Euro 2025 final up for grabs. With both teams carrying goal threats and attacking momentum into this semi-final clash, we’ve built a carefully crafted Bet Builder that combines goals and corners, backed by match-specific insight.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for England Women vs Italy Women, which has been placed with William Hill:

Alessia Russo to Score

Russo’s presence up front for the Lionesses has been instrumental to their attacking approach throughout the tournament. Her movement, timing, and ability to find pockets of space between defenders make her England’s most reliable focal point in advanced areas.

Across England’s most recent five fixtures, Russo has regularly featured in the starting XI and remains a key cog in Sarina Wiegman’s front line. While England left it late to find the net against Sweden, the fightback was driven by a more direct, aggressive attacking setup — one which suits Russo’s qualities. With Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp supplying crosses from wide, Russo is likely to benefit from high-quality service inside the penalty box.

Additionally, Italy’s defence, while organised, have shown signs of vulnerability against sides that play with speed and width. Spain’s 3-1 victory in the group stages exposed gaps between their wing-backs and centre-halves — precisely the type of space Russo thrives in. With the stakes high and England pushing for early control, a Russo goal feels more than plausible.

Cristiana Girelli to Score

The heartbeat of Italy’s frontline throughout the tournament, Cristiana Girelli has been a standout performer for Le Azzurre. Having already scored three times in four matches, including a 90th-minute winner against Norway, she enters this semi-final in exceptional form.

Girelli’s ability to read the game and position herself intelligently is what separates her from most other forwards at this level. While she doesn’t rely solely on pace, her timing and composure make her a constant threat, particularly when Italy are pushing forward in transitional moments or during set-pieces. Against a physically assertive but occasionally exposed English defence, Girelli will look to exploit any hesitations — especially if Leah Williamson is not at 100% following her recent injury scare.

England have conceded in each of their last two matches and struggled to contain Sweden’s central attackers, especially in the early stages of their quarter-final clash. If Italy can get the ball into wide areas and swing in crosses — something Boattin and Oliviero are tasked with doing frequently — Girelli will be the most likely recipient. A goal from her would surprise few, and her big-game mentality makes her a smart inclusion in this builder.

England Women Over 2 Corners

England’s tactical blueprint under Wiegman has long revolved around wide play and overlapping full-backs. Bronze and Greenwood regularly push high up the flanks, while Lauren James and Lauren Hemp naturally drift wide to take on defenders and deliver from deep or bylines.

In their last three matches, England have consistently earned a healthy number of corners — 5 against Sweden, 7 against Wales, and 6 against the Netherlands. With Italy likely to deploy a back five or switch to a three-centre-back system, England will look to exploit the flanks once again. This defensive shape from Italy could allow England more opportunities to win corners via deflections or forced clearances, particularly early on when pressure is expected to be high.

Given England’s likely territorial dominance and their tendency to deliver crosses into the box at every opportunity, the chances of securing three or more corners are extremely high. This leg of the Bet Builder provides solidity and has landed comfortably in recent matches against comparable or stronger opposition.

Italy Women Over 2 Corners

While England may enjoy more of the ball, Italy are unlikely to sit back passively for 90 minutes. Under Andrea Soncin, they’ve developed a compact but adventurous approach, frequently attacking through the flanks via Boattin and Cantore.

Italy earned four corners against Portugal, five versus Belgium, and six against Norway, proving they can force opportunities even without dominating possession. Their transitions are rapid, and their forwards, particularly Girelli and Djuricic, are adept at winning corners through blocked shots or crosses under pressure.

Moreover, England’s high line occasionally leaves space behind the wing-backs, a gap that Italy will look to exploit. Even if they trail in the second half, Italy are expected to push forward in search of a response, increasing the likelihood of corners late in the game. A total of three or more corners for the Azzurre feels a very reasonable outcome given their tactical patterns and past data.

Final Thoughts on the Bet Builder

This Bet Builder combines two of the most in-form goalscorers at the tournament with tactical plays on set-piece metrics that have shown consistency throughout the competition. Both England and Italy have the players and systems to deliver corners and goals alike — especially in a knockout setting where risks increase as the game progresses.

By weaving together these well-supported markets, this four-fold Bet Builder offers a compelling mix of value and realism — perfect for those looking to get involved in one of the standout ties of the Women’s Euro 2025.
